Read MoreHide Full Article

Cleveland, Ohio-based Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH - Free Report) is a prominent built-up components & equipment company, conducting trade in the global industrial goods sector. The company produces control and motion technologies as well as systems that are traded across different aerospace, industrial and mobile marketplaces located around the world.

Parker-Hannifin’s “Win Strategy”, its core business system focusing on key areas, including customer engagement, customer experience, profitable growth and financial performance, has acted as a staple growth driver for the past few quarters. Also, the company’s initial savings from division consolidation and simplification initiatives continue to manifest themselves in the strong margin performance.

However, prolonged sluggishness in natural resources market that includes oil and gas, agriculture, mining and construction equipment are proving to be a major concern for the company. Softness in key end-markets has adversely impacted order levels for the past few quarters. Also, restructuring expenses and strengthening of the U.S. dollar are adding to the company’s woes.

PH has an impressive track record of beating earnings estimates in the recent past. In the four trailing quarters, PH has reported a positive average earnings surprise of 10.5%, beating estimates all through.
